Jury's statement:

This narrative gem perfectly captures the anger and confusion of a small boy when his mother brings a new man into their household. The narrative is intensified by portraying the intruder as a bird in a suit and by the elegant soundtrack constructed with only sound effects and music.

Jury's statement:

A multilayered experience in the tradition of experimental animation: a woman and a brutal urban landscape, a film is being made. The view from a room is being transformed, loaded with static energy, brightened up by artistic interventions. Her mind works in mysterious ways. Everything is transformed, everything is contained.

Jury's statement:

This film is simply brilliant! It is creative in many ways: The narrative - the way the film reverses a life time. The aesthetic - the integration of drawn expressions on the face of the puppet. The “Mise-en-Scene” – the beautiful and original transition from one scene to another. The refinement of the film creates a deep sense of empathy for this unusual character.

The two directors examine the structures and mechanisms of the terror evoked by horror movies. They experiment with viewing and listening habits, turning the screen into a fragile membrane between the viewer and the viewed and examining the space between inner and outer reality.

Jury's statement:

This film is completely hypnotic and charged with energy. It transposes the codes of horror cinema in visual and sound expression. The transition of forms and color takes us on a fluid journey. The music and human voices create a strong sense of tension.

Jury's statement:

Images that evoke the magical beginnings of cinema, when everything seemed possible, and a commentary that gradually unveils the impossibilities and limitations of women’s lives. A short film that highlights the past, but also our ongoing conflicts and struggles in the present.
